Nicole Garcia rocketed to second in the Chase to the Investec Cup for Ladies points standings after a stunning wireto-wire victory in the Dimension Data Challenge at Fancourt on Sunday. The 27-year-old Benoni golfer produced a sensational eagle at the par five 17th and boxed her final putt for birdie for a flawless five-under-par 67.
